It remains unclear what Trevor Harris will decide regarding his future, but it doesn\u2019t appear CFL fans will have to wait long to find out now that the Saskatchewan Roughriders have been eliminated from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t take too long with decisions like that, but\u00a0you do kind of mull over things like that,\u201d Harris told reporters postgame. \u201cAt this point, you just don\u2019t know what the plan of the organization is, what plans for me, my family. I\u2019m always going to pray about it and talk to my family, but\u00a0I\u2019ll kind of deal with that here over the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The six-foot-three, 212-pound passer completed 29-of-40 pass attempts for 309 yards and one interception in Saturday\u2019s loss to the B.C. Lions in the West Semi-Final. Saskatchewan led 17-3 well into the third quarter on the strength of a productive run game but ultimately fell 33-26 with Harris being sacked on the final play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Trevor and I have a good enough relationship to have a conversation (about his future),\u201d head coach Corey Mace told the 620 CKRM postgame show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrev\u2019s [sic] a Hall of Famer, so I think it\u2019ll be year-to-year in how we operate with that, but ultimately with him, you give him his time and what he needs to have a conversation, educated decision-making for him, but I thought he had an unbelievable year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 5,370 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions this season, his fourth in Riderville. His passing total marked a new career-high, though the Roughriders won only four of their last 10 regular-season games to finish third place in the West Division at 10-8.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of him. For him to have\u00a0the year that he had \u2014 statistically, I think one of the best\u00a0in his long career \u2014 with\u00a0the injuries that we had at [receiver], how crucial it was just the trust and the belief that\u00a0he had, and even young guys having to step up, delivering the football, it was just a credit to him,\u201d said Mace.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of how he played \u2014 how he led, how he operates every single day \u2014 I\u2019ve been around a lot of really, really, really good players, and he\u2019s right up there with the best I\u2019ve ever been around in\u00a0how he operates, so love that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan won the Grey Cup last year, and Harris quickly began speaking publicly about his desire to win back-to-back championships for the first time in franchise history. Having now fallen short of that goal, he acknowledged how much it stings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sucks, dude. This is our job, and I love those guys in this locker room, and to say it\u2019s an honour and privilege to suit up for the Green and White and play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders would be a massive understatement,\u201d said Harris.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this city,\u00a0I love this province,\u00a0I love this team, and it\u2019s been an honour to be the quarterback here. I\u2019m grateful. [Failing to repeat as Grey Cup champions]\u00a0sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The native of Waldo, Ohio is one of the CFL\u2019s oldest active players. If he returns for 2027, he\u2019ll turn 41 shortly after the start of the regular-season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unprecedented for quarterbacks to have success at that age. Damon Allen was named the league\u2019s Most Outstanding Player at 42.<\/p>\n

For now, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if Harris decides to play another season. He\u2019s a pending free agent.<\/p>\n
